-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- After 20 years , over 300 goals and a host of major honors , Thierry Henry has called time on his football career .

The Frenchman , who won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 with his country , is hanging up his boots to pursue a broadcasting career .

Although he made his breakthrough with French team Monaco , and spent time with Juventus , Barcelona and latterly New York Red Bulls , Henry is best remembered for a glittering eight-year spell with Arsenal in the English Premier League .

Henry became the London club 's all-time leading goalscorer and helped the Gunners win two league titles and the FA Cup on three occasions .

`` It has been an incredible journey and I would like to thank all the fans , team mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco , Juventus , Arsenal FC , FC Barcelona , the New York Red Bulls and of course the French National Team that have made my time in the game so special , '' he said on his official Facebook page .

`` I have had some amazing memories -LRB- mostly good ! -RRB- and a wonderful experience . I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part . See you on the other side ... ''

Henry 's move to Arsenal in 1999 , after a troubled year in Turin with Juventus , saw him reunited with former Monaco coach Arsene Wenger .

The pair led Arsenal through a golden era , including an unbeaten Premier League campaign during the 2003-04 season .

That team that won 26 and drew 12 of its 38 league matches during that campaign became known as the `` Invincibles . ''

Henry left Arsenal in 2007 and headed to Barcelona , where more titles lay in wait .

During three seasons in Catalonia , Henry won the Spanish championship on two occasions and helped the club lift the European Champions League in 2009 .

The 37-year-old brought the curtain down on his player career with a four-year stint in the `` Big Apple , '' helping New York Red Bulls win Major League Soccer 's Eastern Conference in 2010 and 2013 .

Although his immediate focus will be punditry work with British broadcaster Sky TV , Henry has not ruled out a coaching career .

`` I do n't know if I can be a good coach or not , but the desire is there , '' he told Sky .
